The Golden State Warriors have been the NBA’s most successful team over the last half a decade. At least for those three years they were helped by Kevin Durant, a four-time scoring champion and former MVP who joined the team after the 2015-2016 season.
Durant caught a ton of flak for his decision, landing on a team that was coming off a 73-win season didn’t seem fair to most fans. And, for two and what should’ve been three seasons, it wasn’t.
Three seasons and two titles later, Durant departed, leaving for the Brooklyn Nets this past offseason.
